Default Where to go for a new paint job?

Hey, i have a white 95 accord...like all cars that age...thers several scratches on the car from highway driving, rocks, etc...

the spraycraft in my area does a pretty good job but that could be totally different at another one...people that say macco is garbage...well have you priced macco?? what they offer are economy paintjobs, you can get one for less then $500 on some of there packages, but you get just that--> a $500 paintjob. most people go to macco for an inexpensive paintjob and they get just that...with that kind of stuff it really is, "you get what you pay for..."

if you want a good paintjob, itll cost u aroudn 2500-3000 depending on wut brand of paint and if ur doing anything custom (shaving modlings, antenna, badges)....if you do it yourself, you can get away with a really good paint job with 700-1000. since u jsut want stock job, ive seen some pretty decent macco cars on this board.
